Feth is like the name Beth.

Catachan is pronounced cat-a-chan.
The people from Catachan are cat-a-chins.

Cadia is Kay-dee-ah.

I'd imagine Feth is pronouced how it's spelled. You could always just say f**k.

Thanks! Catachan was the main one, as I have a friend who said it is pronounced "cuh-tah-shun". I always pronounced it "cat-a-chan", so I am glad about that.

When I was much younger, an eldar-playing friend of mine insisted on pronouncing 'shuriken' as sh'-REE-ken. This annoyed me immensely. He also had some absolutely horrible way of saying 'exarch' but I've wiped it from my memory.

I was in a shop once and the kid next to me pics up a box of plague marines and says "look mum, plaque marines"

The thought that lord nurgle has troops specialising in tooth decay gave me quite a chuckle.

I asked "feth" because it could have been a long "e" or a short "e", which would make it "feth" (as in death) or "feeth"
(as in teeth).

Feeth? Now that just sounds silly.

Sanguinius is easy enough if you know any romance languages. It is incredibly similar to their words for 'blood'.

Baal would depend on whether you spoke Afrikaans or Dutch, surely (both of these languages use the 'aa' combination not uncommonly).

I pronounce it with a glottal stop after the first 'a', so it is TWO syllables.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
